The most common excuse used to take a day off - at school or work is the classic pretence of a churning stomach ache or acidity.

However, the occurrence of both of these in the body, can make one's life miserable and mildly irritating too.

Unable to bear the pain and the irritation most of us take up painkillers to suppress them. Well, these tablets might give temporary relief but this is not a healthy way. This can lead to a lot of side effects.

But how much or how often can one pop a pill? After a point, we all go back to nature and its many ways to heal.

Below are some herbs/ayurvedic rescue sources that can help fight both the predicaments and restore our digestive fire back to their normalcy.

Herbs To Cure Stomach Pain And Acidity:

1. Basil:

Either added to tea, or consumed raw, basil leaves are excellent to curb acidity. They help to soothe the acid reflux in the stomach and the intestinal walls.

2. Cinnamon:

The addition of this herb to our diet can help relieve gastric troubles and digestive malfunctioning such as loose stools and nausea.

3. Fennel:

One of the most effective herbs of all, this is widely known for reducing gastrointestinal spasms, acute stomach ache and burning acidity.

4. Cumin:

Cumin is taken to tackle many digestive issues such as colic, diarrhoea, irregular bowel spasms and acidity. It is a very powerful herb used in the restoration of the digestive fire.

5. Ginger:

A double edged sword amongst all herbs, ginger can totally help as an anti-inflammatory herb; however, the overdose of it can actually worsen the situation too, as it is very strong and hence too much intake of ginger should be avoided.

6. Clove:

A herb known for its calming effect, this helps in processing the food down the tract and once released into the stomach, helps regulate the acid reflux and keeps the digestive process smooth.

7. Peppermint:

According to many studies, this herb is known to relax the sphincter muscles and help in digestion. However an overdose of it might lead to heartburn and cause more stomach ache. So, one needs to be careful.

8. Chamomile:

As it has anti-inflammatory properties, and works like a champion when taken with tea, chamomile relaxes the digestive tract and helps in making digestion a smooth process.
